Partnerships & Experiences
The Work
I'm here to help with the work of navigating societal transformations one human, one organization at a time. These transformations touch everything: personal identity, organizational strategy and resourcing, psychological safety, and the very ways we define value and belonging. I support the leaders and organizations stewarding communities of people through this change.
Partnerships & Experiences serve to:
Mode 01
Drive Catalytic Conversations
I design and facilitate strategic gathering experiences — events, offsites, or multi-day containers where change happens between intentionally curated people. These conversations shift how organizations orient and act.
Mode 02
Grow Businesses
I embed inside organizations as a fractional strategic partner for 3–12 months, building the programming and partnerships that grow the business in tangible ways.
Both modes require the same thing: someone who can hold a vision, manage complex stakeholders, and stay through the execution.
Who This Is For
Your team is being reorganized by AI. Strategy can't come before sense-making.
The strategic questions are urgent, but the people who need to answer them haven't had space to process what's actually happening. Before strategy comes sense-making — and that requires a different kind of container. I design it.
You convene catalytic people but your formats don't drive change.
You can fill a room with the right people. What you can't yet do is design a gathering equal to the complexity of what you're working on. Panels produce content, not alignment. I design for what actually needs to happen between the people in the room.
You have a space and a brand. You need it to become something.
The physical infrastructure exists. The brand vision exists. What's missing is the programming layer — who gathers here, for what purpose, in what format, with what result. I build that layer from the ground up and stay to make it run.
The Questions That Spark This Work
Catalytic Questions Convene Us
How might we usher in AI transformation as we strengthen psychological safety, adaptability, and self-worth?
Rather than AI as a looming threat — clear, grounded implementation that keeps the people at the center.
How might we apply regenerative principles to all stages of a startup's lifecycle, including the end?
Moving from extractive models to circular systems — regenerating the entrepreneurs themselves as the natural resources they are.
How might we create and grow new wellness ventures as vehicles for social change?
Because the best way to champion wellbeing across society is to build the companies that deliver it.
Case Studies
I designed and facilitated full-day executive sessions between Headspace and Apple, Google, and Amazon leadership. These co-created strategic days resulted in joint business OKRs with real accountability — generating products like Headspace Sleep Meditations on Alexa and driving significant revenue through App & Play Store partnerships. The conversations surfaced health use cases within senior tech leadership that influenced how millions used technology for good.
Grow Businesses
I assembled a dinner salon for the Founder Mental Health Pledge — 25 prominent LA venture capitalists, philanthropists, lawyers, and founders in one room to surface the real nuances behind why we underinvest in founder mental health. Sponsored by Cooley, Microsoft for Startups, and M13 Ventures. Participants left with tactical actions they could take immediately — and a shared language for a conversation the industry had been avoiding.
Drive Catalytic Conversations
I designed a co-created women's leadership retreat in Colorado, inspired by the concept of "iron sharpens iron." Over four days, each woman facilitated a session she custom-designed to stretch into a new growth area — spanning spirituality, nutrition, and somatics — while participants gave live feedback to support her evolution. The format produced both personal breakthroughs and the development of innovative new offerings.
Drive Catalytic Conversations
Come with the vision — half-formed or fully imagined. That's where the best conversations start.
